The Myths About Scaling Up

What the Big Players Won’t Tell You
At this Lunch To Learn, Deb Morris, Co-Founder & President of Barkeater Chocolates, LLC will walk you through her journey from start-up to getting by to getting ahead. Since 2008, Barkeater Chocolates has been making the world’s most FlavorWow™ chocolates, and had to find out the hard way that getting ahead is a different journey for every business. Doing things the way everyone else does often leads to failure (and Barkeater has made many mistakes). Learn about the pitfalls of scaling up and how “making it big” is sometimes code for “losing your shirt.” Whether you’ve already figured this out or are just starting out, we’ll share & discuss how to avoid the common mistakes many businesses make by trying to be all things to all people.

Hot Cocoa with Mrs. Claus @ Barkeater Chocolates

This year, we’re offering a special event for kids to meet and mingle with Mrs. Claus. For an hour and a half, children will get to hang with Santa’s Number One helper (though she’ll tell you she does most of the work and gets none of the cookies).

Our interactive event will last approximately 90 minutes and includes hot cocoa and a special Christmas treat for each child. Kids will get to submit questions for Mrs. Claus that they’ve always wanted to ask. She’ll read stories and bestow her wisdom upon everyone.

The event begins at 1:00 on Saturday, December 2, after the North Creek Christmas Parade.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Johnsburg Food Pantry.
